HA!!!!!!!!!! Well done, my friend!!!!! I am glad you care! Always remember, language is the principal vehicle of thought.  So numerous and important are the ends to which it is subservient, that it is difficult to imagine in what manner the affairs of human society could be conducted without it!!!!!

Thank you, I can now welcome folks properly...I do want you to know that I try to remember to spell check my posts in the event you're lurking about...I may not use the correct words in their proper places, but they will be spelled correctly!!!  (and I do feel quite proud when the window pops open and reads: No spelling errors were identified )

The word board is a noun , however, when used to reference a certain place as in this context, one would consider it a personal pronoun and it would be capitalized, designating the distinction from a common noun.

I always wondered if the 'b' in board should be capitalized or not.  My thinking was if I used the word by itself, it shouldn't be.  But if using it in reference to a specific place (ie Priest Board or welcome to the Board) it should be capitalized.
I've done both, so I figure I'm batting .500 What is the rule for this?   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Sunday, October 26, 2008 10:15:50 AM)

Oh my dear, dear friend. You will find as you get to know me better that grammar is not just speaking to me! It is a passion! The English language is something I cherish! I used to be FAR worse when it came to correcting people here on this Board but I have mellowed. Besides, it is a lost cause around this place! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just glad you haven't beaten me down about how I can sometimes abuse grammar and sentence structuring  English, and all that goes with it, has never been my strong suit  of the three R's, aRithmatic was more my thing, but even those lessons seem so long ago

Well, from what I recall that is its origin. Something to do with heart valves being called cochlea coris or something like that. They say that they resemble the shellfish, ergo you get "cockles of my heart". Now, that is our lesson for the day. If anyone is interested in a grammar or English lesson, I would be happy to oblige otherwise, on to other things! Ron, will you read the minutes from our last meeting please? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bars here can be pretty wierd....there's the ones for the tourists, then others for locals, then the places bikers are allowed...and they are the best. I used to dress 'normal' but no more....not gonna deny my inner self. Moving back 'home' is gonna feel wierd...

Sounds good! Most bars offer some kind of appetizers to get customers in the door and drinking! Here in the US, they usually offer something fried! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! You Brits are a smart lot!!!
[Necroticist] Sunday, October 26, 2008 9:28:04 AM 
Shellfish/seafood (i.e. - cockles, whelks, shrimps etc) are given away in most local bars on a sunday...i love it! Nice pint of real ale and free seafood....what more could u ask for? lol
[Deep Freeze] Sunday, October 26, 2008 9:19:58 AM 
Actually Ron, the cockles of my heart is an old expression that you may remember. I believe it is derived from the latin for one's heart chambers which , I believe, resemble the shellfish Necro mentioned.
